Merge tag 'v1.51.0'

Synapse 1.51.0 (2022-01-25)
===========================

No significant changes since 1.51.0rc2.

Synapse 1.51.0 deprecates `webclient` listeners and non-HTTP(S) `web_client_location`s. Support for these will be removed in Synapse 1.53.0, at which point Synapse will not be capable of directly serving a web client for Matrix.

Synapse 1.51.0rc2 (2022-01-24)
==============================

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.40.0 that caused Synapse to fail to process incoming federation traffic after handling a large amount of events in a v1 room. ([\#11806](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11806))

Synapse 1.51.0rc1 (2022-01-21)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add `track_puppeted_user_ips` config flag to record client IP addresses against puppeted users, and include the puppeted users in monthly active user counts. ([\#11561](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11561), [\#11749](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11749), [\#11757](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11757))
- Include whether the requesting user has participated in a thread when generating a summary for [MSC3440](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3440). ([\#11577](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11577))
- Return an `M_FORBIDDEN` error code instead of `M_UNKNOWN` when a spam checker module prevents a user from creating a room. ([\#11672](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11672))
- Add a flag to the `synapse_review_recent_signups` script to ignore and filter appservice users. ([\#11675](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11675), [\#11770](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11770))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a long-standing issue which could cause Synapse to incorrectly accept data in the unsigned field of events
  received over federation. ([\#11530](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11530))
- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse wouldn't cache a response indicating that a remote user has no devices. ([\#11587](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11587))
- Fix an error that occurs whilst trying to get the federation status of a destination server that was working normally. This admin API was newly introduced in Synapse v1.49.0. ([\#11593](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11593))
- Fix bundled aggregations not being included in the `/sync` response, per [MSC2675](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2675). ([\#11612](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11612), [\#11659](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11659), [\#11791](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11791))
- Fix the `/_matrix/client/v1/room/{roomId}/hierarchy` endpoint returning incorrect fields which have been present since Synapse 1.49.0. ([\#11667](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11667))
- Fix preview of some GIF URLs (like tenor.com). Contributed by Philippe Daouadi. ([\#11669](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11669))
- Fix a bug where only the first 50 rooms from a space were returned from the `/hierarchy` API. This has existed since the introduction of the API in Synapse v1.41.0. ([\#11695](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11695))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.18.0 where password reset and address validation emails would not be sent if their subject was configured to use the 'app' template variable. Contributed by @br4nnigan. ([\#11710](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11710), [\#11745](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11745))
- Make the 'List Rooms' Admin API sort stable. Contributed by Daniël Sonck. ([\#11737](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11737))
- Fix a long-standing bug where space hierarchy over federation would only work correctly some of the time. ([\#11775](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11775))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.46.0 that prevented `on_logged_out` module callbacks from being correctly awaited by Synapse. ([\#11786](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11786))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Warn against using a Let's Encrypt certificate for TLS/DTLS TURN server client connections, and suggest using ZeroSSL certificate instead. This works around client-side connectivity errors caused by WebRTC libraries that reject Let's Encrypt certificates. Contibuted by @AndrewFerr. ([\#11686](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11686))
- Document the new `SYNAPSE_TEST_PERSIST_SQLITE_DB` environment variable in the contributing guide. ([\#11715](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11715))
- Document that the minimum supported PostgreSQL version is now 10. ([\#11725](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11725))
- Fix typo in demo docs: differnt. ([\#11735](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11735))
- Update room spec URL in config files. ([\#11739](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11739))
- Mention `python3-venv` and `libpq-dev` dependencies in the contribution guide. ([\#11740](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11740))
- Update documentation for configuring login with Facebook. ([\#11755](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11755))
- Update installation instructions to note that Python 3.6 is no longer supported. ([\#11781](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11781))

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Remove the unstable `/send_relation` endpoint. ([\#11682](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11682))
- Remove `python_twisted_reactor_pending_calls` Prometheus metric. ([\#11724](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11724))
- Remove the `password_hash` field from the response dictionaries of the [Users Admin API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/user_admin_api.html). ([\#11576](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11576))
- **Deprecate support for `webclient` listeners and non-HTTP(S) `web_client_location` configuration. ([\#11774](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11774), [\#11783](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11783))**

- Remove debug logging for #4422, which has been closed since Synapse 0.99. ([\#11693](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11693))
- Remove fallback code for Python 2. ([\#11699](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11699))
- Add a test for [an edge case](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11532#discussion_r769104461) in the `/sync` logic. ([\#11701](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11701))
